    It's been posted for 5 weeks so far and they say they are firm at 13k but I agree i had planned on trying to get them down to 10k.

    It's a little over 7 hours away from me.

    Gotta stay under 260in wheelbase in order to fit on the scale or at least the truck running locally does.

    I'm not sure who said it, but I emailed the dealer and they sent me the complete build sheet from KW. 6 pages long w/o the bunk.I'm sure you could do the same.BoxCarKid said it.

    You can get the engine part number off of the block and contact Cummins they will send you a new spec plate you can rivet back onto the accessory drive that is what it's called where the plate goes in front of the air compressor I own 2 big cam 400's. The truck vin# sometimes doesn't help find engine info because those engines only last about 500,000 before needing an in-frame done and you can only rebuild them about 3-5 times before the block is worn out so most of them had an engine swap already not saying those trucks have just throwing it out there

    Probably not an N14 they didn't hit the market till 92-94 you were probably right the first time NTC unless the engine was swapped out already I'm going to be in the market soon for an early mechanical N14
